Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, 78, had resumed the normal course of his duties, after indicating in early June that he had tested positive for Covid-19.
The head of state, who has ruled the East African country with an iron fist since 1986, had announced on 8 June that he had tested positive for Covid-19, citing mild symptoms. While under treatment, he delegated the work to Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja.
Last week, the Ugandan President did not take part in the delegation of several African heads of state who traveled to Ukraine and Russia to try to put an end to the conflict. Museveni did, however, address parliament from a distance during the presentation of the budget. Once hailed as a reformer, Yoweri Museveni took the reins of Uganda in 1986, helping to put an end to the authoritarian regimes of Idi Amin Dada and Milton Obote. But the former rebel leader has since cracked down on dissent and changed the constitution to keep himself in power.
